I wondered if you were watching it @punkdoc … it did appear very real even to someone who has only seen a bit of the ‘behind the scenes’ stuff, for odd reasons.

Didy , I’m glad you liked the view. I was actually trying to get a photo of Hubby on the tractor in our river paddock, but he was a bit distant to notice. I’m very pleased to see the grass has been cut at last. It’s been growing at a very fast rate this summer with all the rain we’ve had.
Volunteering today for the first time in a while. Glad to see it was light when the alarm went off at 7. There will have been big changes in the garden since my last visit, when not even the snowdrops were out yet.
Bit weary this morning as went up to London last night to take littlest Chicklet out for a birthday boxing day meal. Great time, but meant not home til gone midnight. Will need an early night tonight, after the Garden Club meeting - which is all about Oak trees.
British Airways have a sale on, so we’ve booked a trip to Iceland in a couple of weeks time. We have three years worth of travelling to fit into 2022 😉
The Adam Kay book made me laugh, and I love Ben Whishaw ……undecided yet whether to watch the TV and let two worlds collide.
Bad news about Worzel @Hostafan1 - but glad you are safe. Hope you can get the insurance sorted quickly.
Morning all. Looking damp and drizzly outside here this morning. So sorry to read about poor Worzle @Hostafan1 hope you can get the insurance and necessary repairs sorted before too long. Lovely to see @D0rdogne_Damsel is having a great time, take it easy and enjoy the chance of a good rest. Is the holiday a week, ten days or a fortnight - seem to have missed this info somehow. Sorry cant remember any more, why is it that the brain seems to develop more and more holes as we get older? Have a good day everyone whatever you have planned.
Gosh @chicky - you are going from one extreme to the other with your hols! I long to return to the little Greek island where we spent many a happy holiday. But we know it wouldn't be the same - one dear friend from Germany we met there each year has died and we are not as young as we were. There would be no chance now of getting up Prophet Ilias, the small mountain in the centre of the island with a monastery on top and magnificent views. @Lizzie27 - my dear FIL had his second hip replacement done privately as he didn't want to wait for an NHS op. But private doesn't necessarily mean better. Being profit driven they operate a conveyor belt system which means they don't give the right kind of after care. He developed an infection and had to have the whole thing replaced by the NHS and was in hospital for weeks afterwards as he caught infection after infection. Stick to your guns with the insurance company @Hostafan1. Also profit-driven their first thought is: we don't want to pay anything out. If I had my way everything would be not-for-profit. Fair salaries for all who work in them, budgets for research and development, taxes paid for the common good, prices kept as low as possible.

Let's hope the NHS naysayers read this. Give me the NHS any day over profit driven conveyor belts
